I see these posts all over Tumblr all the time, and I'm always utterly baffled:

Why are all the models decapitated?

Well, I guess that explains why the collections are always described as "raw" on Tumblr! Zombies are not noted chefs. :D

Actually, there's a guy on tumblr who is cropping the original photos to cut off the models' heads and make the photos narrower, too. I find it very creepy and rude. I sent him a message asking him to stop dehumanizing the models, but of course he did not reply. Most of these images can be found in their original condition with a simple search. There's one set of red dresses where I saw both his cropped version and a non-cropped version. I posted to my tumblr asking people not to reblog the headless ones, but of course you can do whatever you want.

thanks for letting me explain.

Well, I only offer up the information and my own take on it. I don't want to coerce people into changing, but this strikes me as a not-so-subtle type of anti-feminism. (even if the orig poster does the same with male models, which he may do.)

my tumblr is crankydevon, if you're interested. I'm pretty sure I added you. :>
Warning: I reblog a not insignificant amount of Teen Wolf stuff, but it's not the majority of my posts. I make sure to include cute animals and humor, too.

Huh -- I think I managed to catch a hint of this; at least, I have a vague memory of a Tumblr person noting the "beheaded" nature of the photos, and that photos with the models' heads included did exist, so I had a nasty suspicion that it was a deliberate choice on somebody's part. D:

Sad to know that the person responsible has been asked to cease, and hasn't even replied at all. Sigh.
